How do you mean the digital tier? Usually that costs extra money
and may include a lot of encrypted channels. OTOH the broadcast
stations could also be sent digitally but unencrypted so at least
digital QAM ready TV's and equipment could get them without either
extra fees or cable cards. (once you get the TV)
Sorry Tom, but those days are over.
YOU Vill PAY for broadcast stations, just like you pay for everything else!
It might be interesting if the cable industry said it would pull the
plug on the analog broadcast channels unless the broadcasters rescind
their Retrans Consent demands. Then they could justify only paying
for the subscribers who pay for the digital tier with the networks...
